~ tracking down this book ~
Running Fawn loves her Blackfoot tribe's way of life -- especially returning to their winter camp every year. But the arrival of white men, with their diseases and guns, resulting in the elimination of the life-sustaining buffalo herds, leaves her people with little choice but to move to the Reserve. Then Running Fawn's life changes even more drastically when she is sent to the mission boarding school, where she learns about the white man's God. But Running Fawn is reluctant to give up the religion of her own people. Is this foreign God really for her, too? Book jacket.
